Csere szondakészlet a Garmin Force® Kraken motorhoz, védőkúp nélkül

The Garmin replacement transducer kit is specifically designed for Garmin Force® Kraken electric motors. It allows for maintenance and upgrading of the integrated sonar system by replacing an existing transducer or restoring the motor's watertight integrity.

The kit includes all essential components for a complete service:

A compression tool for seals.Seal compression joints (for 8-pin, 12-pin, and non-probe configurations).A set of replacement O-rings.Stainless steel screws.A bag of marine grease.A neoprene pad.Bolts, washers, and O-rings for the motor.

No, the protective cone is not included in this depth sounder replacement kit. The product name clearly states "Protective cone not included".

This kit restores the sonar's optimal performance, essential for fish detection and navigation. It also maintains the motor's original waterproofing, which is crucial to prevent corrosion and water infiltration, thereby extending the durability of your equipment.

Replacing O-rings and compression fittings is recommended to maintain the motor's original waterproofing. This is critical to prevent corrosion and water ingress that could damage the motor and sonar system.

This replacement transducer kit is specifically designed and is compatible only with Garmin Force® Kraken electric motors.

No, this kit is not compatible with standard Garmin Force outboards. These require a different kit reference.

This kit is optimized for seamless integration with Garmin 8-pin and 12-pin transducers commonly used on Force Kraken models.

The kit includes different cable glands. You must select the one that matches your transducer:

For a 4-pin transducer, choose the cable gland with the smallest hole. For an 8- or 12-pin transducer, choose the cable gland with the largest hole. If you are not installing a transducer or if you are running the transducer cable outside the shaft, you must install the supplied cable gland without a hole.

For installation, you will need the following tools:

A Phillips screwdriver size #2. Hex bits or wrenches of 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm. Medium-strength thread locking compound, such as LOCTITE 243™. Compressed air in a can or an air compressor. Diagonal cutting pliers. Cable ties (included in the kit). The eyelet wrench (included in the kit). Marine grease (included in the kit).

Yes, for optimal performance and to avoid any risk of injury, damage to the device, or damage to your vessel, installation by a qualified marine technician is recommended.

Before performing any maintenance operation, you must absolutely disconnect the engine from the battery. Never operate the engine when the propeller is out of the water, as contact with a rotating propeller can cause serious injury.

Before you can replace the depth sounder, you must perform the following steps to prepare the engine:

Disconnect the engine from the power source. Open the shaft housing cap. Disconnect the cables and remove the shaft housing cap. Remove the propeller drive motor from the propeller shaft.

After preparing the engine, the steps to remove the old depth sounder are:

Remove the skeg and the nose cone from the propeller drive motor. Using a hex socket or 3 mm Allen key, remove the four screws securing the depth sounder to the nose cone. Remove the depth sounder and the neoprene pad from the nose cone. The screws and neoprene pad must be discarded, as new parts are supplied in the replacement kit.

No, it is strongly recommended to use the new screws, washers, bushings, and seals provided in the replacement transducer kit. These new parts are essential to ensure correct installation and system watertightness.

A medium-strength thread locking compound, such as LOCTITE 243™, is recommended. It is crucial to apply it to the threads of the six tapped holes on top of the propeller drive motor to maintain a watertight connection between the shaft base and the motor.

The marine grease supplied in the kit must be applied to the following locations:

On the new blue and black engine gaskets before installing them.
On the 25 mm (1 in) O-ring of the recessed nut.
On the 4.75 mm (3/16 in) O-rings of the six engine mounting bolts.
On the cable glands (grommets) and the transducer cable section passing through the gland.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads.

To ensure waterproofing, you must prepare the six bolts in the kit by placing a washer and a 4.75 mm (3/16 in) O-ring on each. Apply grease to these O-rings (avoiding the threads). Then apply medium-strength thread locking compound (such as LOCTITE 243™) to the threads of the six tapped holes on the top of the propeller drive motor. Tighten the bolts by hand, then use a torque wrench to tighten them to 4 N·m (35 lbf·in).

Once the replacement transducer is installed, you must perform the following actions to complete the service of the trolling motor:

Connect the cables in the shaft housing.Close the shaft housing.Connect the motor to the power source.

Yes, when replacing the transducer, the following parts must be discarded and replaced with the new ones provided in the kit:

The six screws that secure the shaft base to the propeller drive motor (the kit provides new screws, washers, and O-rings). The four screws that secure the old transducer to the nose cone (the kit provides new screws, washers, and rings). The neoprene pad of the old transducer (a new pad is provided in the kit). The existing blue and black motor seals.
